Dog Attack- $210K settlement

Settlement: $210K

Facts:

The client was attacked by a rescue dog while attending a large, outdoor public event. Although dogs were allowed at the event, the client alleged that this particular dog, based upon its troubled background and prior biting incidents should not have been at the event. After filing a lawsuit against the dog owner, we were able to establish the evidence necessary to show that the dog owner was responsible for the incident. The case settled at mediation for $210,000.
